BRIGHTON, Mich., Jan. 6 Nanotechnology can be described asthe science of molecular engineering, and is currently changing the way manyindustries think of surface coatings. Imagine a scratch-free automotivefinish, a barnacle-free boat hull, a self-cleaning aircraft or a wheel withoutbrake-dust. This vision has become a commercial reality using nanotechnologymaterials and concepts. Nanovere Technologies based in Brighton, MI hasdeveloped market-ready nanocoatings to significantly reduce OEM surfacescratching by over 50% and reduce surface cleaning by 60%.

The nanocoating platform is named Zyvere, and was specifically developedto prevent surface scratching including car keys and to significantly reducesurface cleaning and maintenance. Zyvere nanocoatings also improve fuelefficiency for aircraft, improve wind turbine efficiency and reduce barnacleadhesion on boat hulls. With all of these capabilities, you would expect adramatically higher price point. Not true. Zyvere nanocoatings arecompetitively priced with other industry leading OEM coatings, but with fargreater performance.

What is so unique about Zyvere nanocoatings? According to Nanovere'sChairman and Principal Scientist Thomas Choate, "Nanovere has developed acomplete line of patent pending 1K and 2K nanocoatings based onnano-structured materials and concepts. Zyvere nanocoatings provide extremecrosslink dense films with remarkable flexibility, and were designed to resistscratching, improve clean-ability and improve UV resistance. Even after 5years, our Nanovere nanocoatings have 100% gloss retention, a feat just notpossible with conventional clear coating finishes."

Nanovere works closely with global Automotive OEM's to improve glossretention from long-term car washing, prevent scratching, reduce vehicleweight using Zyvere over polycarbonate (in place of glass), and to reduce theunsightly appearance of brake dust on wheels. Nanovere's latest automotivecoating technology includes an eco-friendly 100% solids UV cure clear coatingwith 7H pencil hardness and self-cleaning dirt release properties. By usingultraviolet light energy to instantly cure the applied coating, significantcost and energy savings are realized vs. conventional thermal cure systems.Nanovere also works closely with aerospace leaders to improve fuel efficiencyand reduce deicing materials needed on the runway.
